E316L-17

316L electrodes produce weld deposits similar to that of USA 316, but with amaximum 0.04% carbon. This extra low carbon content gives the weld deposit excellent resistanceagainst intergranular corrosion caused by carbide precipitation. USA 316L electrodes are used forwelding 18% Cr– 12% Ni– 2.5% Mo stainless steels where the corrosion resistant qualities ofAISI 316L are required. This electrode hassmooth spray arc transferand produces a weld depositwithconcave veryfine bead appearance and exceptionalself releasing slag. USA 316L electrodesare most commonly used in the textile, paper, cellulose, and chemical equipment industries for thefabrication of 316L, 318 and319L stainless steel products.316L-17 has awiderwelding currentrange and may be used in all-positionhowever with theslower freezing slag care should be usedout of position
